Episode 153: Hello Donkey Thumbs up for Mike is back with the guys this week and I guess Johnny sounded a bit annoyed in the beginning, he DEFINITELY was not I promise but we start out with some general BS before the first beer.

Episode 152: The Planets Jim is back!! Thumbs up for Mike joined the guys again too this week and we start this one off with a new energy drink on the market!

Episode 149: Mike likes beer too Thumbs up for Mike is back again with us this week and the conversation is rather beer related at least at first. interesting conversations at least and not going to lie, yet again was working on a few things while editing and kinda forgot to make notes at times so sit back and enjoy this episode as we both listen to what we talked about! We did get into a fair bit...

Episode 148: Jims Back With the return of Mr. Jim we kick this episode off with a new guest! You have heard us refer to him and occasionally rope him into a sample or two on the show but we OFFICIALLY welcome our new guest JP!

Episode 147: Till Death Do Us Part We are joined this with with returning guest Mel! AND Jim again being played by Bob this week. I had forgotten when recording that we had Steve and Maureen on awhile back so Bob and Mel were in fact NOT the first husband/wife at the same time HOWEVER, the first ones to have appeared separately and then together! Once again lots of good beers and audience members...

Episode 146: Jim Bob Jim was out of our office this week so we had a fill in, BOB!

Episode 144: Sour Banjo The guys are joined this week by another brewery regular Mr. Arthur!! Darrell made the selection of beverages this week from the bin 'o beers in the back and happened to pick out all the sour beers so this one has a rather interesting start to it, especially since one of the cans looked like it was about to blow the lid off (see the picture on our facebook haha). Regardless...

Episode 143: Mead from a Stranger Brother Darrell is back with us this week and our guest "Thumbs up for Mike" has joined us again as well. This week we get into to VERY interesting canned AND sparkling meads that some random dude gave to Johnny at Darklord Day earlier this year. Johnny attempted to pull one over on Darrell that we did NOT talk anything about Foldies and the Foundry Craft Kitchen...

Episode 142: F is for Foldie Mr. Darrell had a prior engagement the morning of recording so we got a fill in for him, Chef Steve!! The majority of this episode is about food and some of the new food offerings at Starr Craft from the "Foundry Craft Kitchen" in the back of the building!

Episode 140: Darklord Day 2026 This is a tale about a group of guys who went out of state on a most grand of adventures! Along the way they make a number of stops, try new foods and make new friends as they traverse the vast distance of smoke supply stores between Michigan and Indiana (seriously there were like 23 in the final mile...) all the while trying many other beers at each stop. There are...

Episode 139: Duck in the Dungeon With a hefty discussion about D&D to start the episode, the guys get into a VERY interesting (and ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE) beer to start off, enough that Mr. Jim left a review for it on the spot on Untappd... Johnny, if to further prove how NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD he is, did finish the can though, no surprise there... TRUST me DO NOT take up Brother Darrell in his of...

Episode 138: Quick and Dirty Notes for this episode, there are none. We recorded it, I got home, did some quick and editing (cut in the intro and outro...) and uploaded it so guess you're just going to have to listen to it to find out what we did because I just didn't really feel like writing anything, not going to lie... OH, we found a beer Johnny DID NOT LIKE!! So there was that at least... Beer...

Episode 137: Pull the Cork The guys are joined my Mr. Jeff's (aka Duffman) wife and one of the 3 sisters Sam this week for a bit different of an episode, we're doing WINE! It's really kinda hard to write too many notes here, we talk about wine, sampling, color, flavors, smells, Jim reads the descriptions AND attempts some accents while reading, some fun stories, one of the wines has some cherry in...

Episode 134: Cassie The guys are joined by a new guest this week, Cassie from "the business next door"! Breaking her in with some pretty heavy beers, the guys get right into some VERY good selections from Perrin to start out this week. Things do get a bit weird off the rip, there's too many small and short stories to single out anything in particular in the description here, but lots of fun genera...

Episode 133: Further from the light This weeks episode starts out with some discussion of an apparent new release from Pabst that DOES NOT make Mr. Jim a very happy camper, though naturally makes Johnny want to try the weirdness, imagine that haha. Bit of conversation about Mr. Jims new job and a bunch of other chats before we FINALLY get into the first beer of the episode! Bit shorter of an episo...
